[QUOTE="forbidden, post: 403643, member: 552189"] Imagine your car trying to tow a super B train, this is what you are asking your alternator to do with the amps that you have. You need and must do the alternator upgrade to properly power your system. A high capacity battery is pretty much a must as well as a dual battery isolator and a second battery if you must. The big 3 is also a must do for you. A cap will have little impact on the system requirements as it is another device that the alternator must provide power to. When you build your box, build it with two separate chambers, completely isolated from one another. This is a must when the amps are run separately (in most cases). You do not have the best match of subs to amps. The amps produce their full potential at 2 ohm mono, they are not stable to run continuously at 1 ohm mono. Your subs are dual 2 ohm coils, thus they can be parallel wired to 1 ohm or series wired to 4 ohm. As discussed above, 1 ohm is not an option, thus 4 ohm is the best configuration. The downfall here is that the amp will make only half of it's recommended power. Post up questions if you have them. [/QUOTE]
